The Cardiovascular System: What Does It Do?
The circulatory system consists of a pump, the heart, and a network of conduits (arteries, vessels, veins) responsible for transporting blood throughout the entire body. Its purpose is to ensure a continuous supply of oxygen and nutrients to the cells, which are the fundamental units of organ structure and function. The circulatory system also facilitates the transport of waste products, resulting from cellular activity, before their elimination by the liver, kidneys, and lungs.
Far from being a simple "hydraulic system," the cardiovascular system:
- Manages the electrical and muscular energy within the heart.
- Controls the entire vascular network, from the aorta to the capillaries. These often-overlooked capillaries (who thinks of the capillaries in their eyes or muscles?) are crucial for the interface between blood and organs and cells.
- Recovers carbon dioxide and waste products from cellular activity in the venous return circuit before they are eliminated.
- Blood also transports white blood cells and antibodies, making it a vital agent of our Immunity.
Therefore, a dysfunction of this system will immediately result in: poor blood distribution to the body, insufficient oxygenation of organs, and inefficient waste removal, which can lead to numerous cardiovascular diseases. Incidents can then occur, the worst of which is a myocardial infarction (heart attack).
Cardiovascular diseases cause 165,000 deaths per year in France.
Today, cardiovascular diseases are better understood. We now know that the best ways to protect against them are often Prevention and adopting a good Lifestyle. This starts with a varied and balanced diet (e.g., the Mediterranean Diet), avoiding a sedentary lifestyle, and leveraging the Power of Plants.
CardioVascine is composed of plants known for their strong antioxidant, circulatory, and antispasmodic properties, aiming to regulate the heart's electrical energy and strengthen the contractile capacity of the cardiac muscle. These plants thus improve blood circulation and ensure better oxygenation of cells.
